This empowering nonfiction narrative explores the nature of intelligence including rampant unintelligent behaviors that exert influence in society. The age-old conflict between stupidity and intelligence has been brought into sharper focus with the advent of artificially intelligent (AI) devices. Is it our neglect or inability to train human intelligence that fosters fear of properly training AI devices? If so, this suggests our poor grasp of intelligence itself. If a high-level understanding of real intelligence is achieved, the general public's fear of AI could be addressed. Further, prudent management of AI by nontechnical decision-makers becomes possible with this perspective.
This book uncovers the techniques of real intelligent behavior that can be imparted to devices and taught to humans. This boldly suggests that a person can be trained to improve their intelligence (some may object). Yet it is not so bold to suggest a computer can be taught how to be intelligent. These techniques enable the users of AI to exercise intelligence to avoid giving power to a foolish device.
